Couples & engagement
Photographer in Lisbon, Cascais, Sintra
Romantic photos for the two of you without any stress. Gentle tips for authentic and lively shots
This page is all about couples – in love, on a journey, or just enjoying time together. Whether it's your engagement, honeymoon, anniversary, or simply a memory you want to keep – this is for you.
My approach is simple: no pressure, no stiff posing. Just you two, your connection, and the way you are together. We'll walk, laugh, maybe dance a little – and I'll catch the real stuff. The quiet smiles, the closeness, the sparks between you.
The photo shoot is relaxed and personal. We choose the vibe together – city streets, ocean cliffs, quiet nature, or cozy corners. Wherever we go, I'll help you feel at ease, so your photos stay honest, warm, and true to who you are.
About me Dimas Frolov
Hey, I'm Dimas, a professional photographer. I have over 17 years of experience in photography, working with couples in different countries and travel destinations.
Today, I focus on couples and engagement sessions in Lisbon, combining long-term professional experience with a fresh, attentive approach to the city.
Working in Lisbon means planning each session carefully, paying close attention to light, timing, and how couples feel in real environments, not studio setups.
Most couples I work with are not models, and my experience allows me to guide them calmly through the session, regardless of location.

Want to see real sessions? Love stories photo shoots
It's easy to show just one or two perfect shots in a portfolio – they always look great. But the real value is in full photo sessions. Here you'll see complete couples shoots with real people, not models, photographed in different locations.
Some of these sessions were shot in Lisbon, others in different cities around the world. Each gallery shows a full story from start to finish, so you can clearly see how a couples photo session really looks and feels.

★★★★★Vladimir and AndreyDimas is a professional! He knows the proposed locations like the back of his hand. With him, you don't have to worry about anything: he directs himself, gives advice – that's what experience means! Even the most shy couple, unaccustomed to photoshoots (that is, us), felt completely at ease. Working with Dima throughout the shoot was easy and fun. We are 100% satisfied with the result of the photos! The photo editing is amazing!

★★★★★Candice & PatrickWe had an enjoyable photo session with Dimas. I am not a photogenic person and somehow get a little nervous when I see the camera. Dimas was very professional and a real artist. He learnt our face; put us at ease and taught us how to pose to look perfect. We turned out had a lot of fun during the photo shooting. Thanks again Dimas!

★★★★★Liana & LeoWe had a lot of fun having our pictures taken by Dimas. He took us to three different locations, each beautiful and unique in its own way. Even though one of the beach was quite crowded, the pictures still come out like we are in our own little paradise. The price he charges is very reasonable, considering he only charges for the photoshoot and not the transit. Would definitely recommend that you contact him to get some gorgeous pictures!

★★★★★Alejandra & KevinWe chose Dimas for our engagement shoot while vacationing in Thailand, mostly based on reviews. Reviews were spot on – we absolutely loved both our experience on the day of shooting and our pictures! He is very easy-going, guided us while still allowing for spontaneity and natural photos, and we loved his perspective/angles. Absolutely recommend him.

★★★★★Natalia & HaydenDimas made our holiday even more memorable, extremely professional, fun, entertaining, he knows all the great spots, not to mention the quality of his work including editing is superb. We are really happy we took time to research and find Dimas. Would highly recommend you get a package with the car as you get to see more of the quieter side of the island where tourists don't normally go, and get your own tour guide for the day :)

Most common questions about photo shoots
In Lisbon center – sunrise, almost no tourists. Beaches or parks are more flexible; you can shoot almost any time there.
A few helpful articles in my blog:
I offer several packages. One hour usually covers most sessions. For more outfits or wider locations, 1.5 hours is better. Two hours is the most relaxed option with lots of advantages.
Detailed packages you can see here: Rates for photography services.
Lisbon loves lovers. So do I Couple Photoshoot in Lisbon
A love story or engagement photo shoot is more than just creating photos; it's a way to show how two people actually feel about each other. Many couples choose Lisbon for this experience because of its warm light, cinematic atmosphere, and unique textures. Whether you're here for a trip or celebrating something special, a couple photoshoot in Lisbon blends natural beauty with heartfelt moments. If you're looking for an engagement photographer in Lisbon, you're already on the right track.
Who Is It For
Couple sessions aren't just for engagements. They're perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, travels together, or even "just because." If you're new to love each other or have been together for years, the camera can show how you two feel. You don't have to be a model or feel comfortable in front of a camera. I work with couples of all ages and levels of expertise. Photos from your honeymoon in Lisbon or an anniversary session will last forever. Couples travel photography is about preserving what you feel, not how you pose.
How the Session Goes
The session is calm, simple, and real. No stiff posing, just natural couple photography based on how you interact. We walk, talk, and laugh. I gently guide you, but most of the time, I just watch the way you connect. A relaxed photo session means no pressure. The goal is to capture candid moments, not performances. Everything is done in soft, natural light that brings out real emotion and mood.
Best Lisbon Photo Locations
Lisbon offers a mix of city charm and nature. Alfama and Graça are old neighborhoods with winding streets and poetic shadows. Senhora do Monte and other Miradouros are great places to see the sunrise and take in the view. For a beach vibe, Praia do Guincho has big waves and clear skies. Portraits with a classic Lisbon feel look great against azulejos, which are brightly colored stones. For something calmer, nearby parks offer a cozy, green setting. If you're wondering where to take engagement photos, I'll help you find the right spot.
What You'll Get
After the shoot, you'll receive a curated gallery of ready-to-share photos. Everything is delivered online in high resolution – easy to view, download, and send to family or friends. These aren't just images – they're emotional couple portraits you'll keep coming back to. Your engagement photo gallery from Lisbon becomes more than a collection. It's a story told through glances, touches, and the city's light.
Photographer's Tips
Keep it simple. Wear something comfortable that reflects your personality. Neutral colors or tones that go well together always work best. The best time for a photo session in Lisbon is early morning or during golden hour before sunset – the light is soft and flattering. If you feel a bit awkward, that's okay. I'll help you ease into it. You don't have to perform – just show up as you are.
Time to Capture Your Story
Cities change, seasons shift, and memories fade – but photos let you hold on to how it felt. A photo session is a way to freeze a piece of your love story, just the way it is right now. Not perfect, not staged – just real. When you look back, it's the small gestures and quiet moments that will matter. Maybe this is your moment to save something beautiful.
